- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ground cinnamon (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
1- In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and 3 cups of milk. Stir over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
2- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of milk, cornstarch, and salt until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
3- Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the peanut butter mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
4- Cook the pudding over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent sticking.
5- Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
6- Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a large serving bowl. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled and set.
7- Before serving, you can sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top for garnish if desired.
8- Serve chilled and enjoy this delicious traditional Haitian dessert, Haiti Pen Jon Jon - Peanut Butter Pudding!
Note: You can adjust the sweetness of the pudding by adding more or less sugar according to your taste preference. Additionally, feel free to experiment with different toppings such as chopped peanuts or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
